YoYo Spotlight – Amplified Shout

July 28, 2015 By YoYoNews

Amplified Shout yoyo

Amplified Shout Specs:

Diameter: 57 mm
Width: 43.5 mm
Gap: 4.30 mm
Weight: 66.95 grams
Response: 19mm Slim Pads
Bearing: Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)

The Shout is the first release from Amplified Return Tops, a new US-based yoyo brand created by LaMonte Patterson.

PLAY

The Shout has a big, angular feel that makes it feel like a much larger yoyo while still retaining the speed of something more compact. It plays reasonably fast, and the weight distribution gives it plenty of stability for all modern 1A and 5A play. If you like your yoyos with an especially wide “V” profile, the Shout really delivers. The Shout spins smooth and gives you great spin times, even with plane-breaking tricks, and is a promising freshman release from this new company. The Shout is definitely a stable, fun, throw for everyday practice or your next competition freestyle.

LOOKS

The fit and finish on the Amplified Shout are quite good. The color schemes are bright and fun, and well-done by a clearly reputable anodizing house. The machining is high quality, without distracting machine marks or flat spots.

VALUE

The Amplified Shout retails for $100 – $110, depending on colorway. The price is reasonable for a small-run production piece from a new company, and the quality lives up to the price tag. The Amplified Shout is not a casual purchase, but it’s a solid one.

BUY THE AMPLIFIED SHOUT

The Amplified Shout is available now direct from Amplified Return Tops.
